An UNREASONABLE fact has been finally es-
tabished by recent methods of observation

blind instinct % perform certain acts with

ability 10 provide for their young. m their

REACHING The HEIGHTS.

He was known to all as q brave young mar;
But as he paused for u moment to scan
n scenes that lay round him his heart stood
still,
And his whole frame shook with a death like
chill.
For the glen. whose wealth of MOSES and
ferns
Had lured him into its crooks and turns,
Was o cunning trap when the rising tide
Had closed up the way to the beach outside.
And he looked about him in wild despair,
For the swelling waters had hemmed him
there,
And above his head for a hundred feet
Stretched the whitened, rocks like o winding
sheet.
II he could but climb to yon rocky crest,
Which never the foot of man had pressedi
He would tryi And he nerved himself to save
His life from the clutch Of the coming wave.
Up slowly and painfully, inch by inch,
He steadfastly climbed, and he did not finch
When the cruel rocks tore his finger-nails,
And he marked his progress with crimson
trails.
Hurrah for the youth His peril is pastI
ALI painting and breathless, but safe at last;
He pulls himself up to the crest, and there
His pailid lips murmur y grateful prayer.
But was he the first among living men
To climb up the side Of that rocky CLIENT

FIGHTING A TIGER.
Thrilling Adventure of the Ferocious Man
Eater of India.

Eater of India.
Only a few months ago in India in a
certain planting district there was a
notorious man-eater. Two gentlemen,
A and B, residing together on IN es-
tate had lost besides other employees
two chowkebars, or native watchmen,
within q few days, and the unfortunate
men had been actually carried out of
the veranda of the bungalow. A and
B, therefore, determined to clothe
themselves like natives and sit during
the night armed in the veranda in hope
they might be able to get a shot at the
man-eater, who they thought might
probably return to the spot which had
already provided him with two victims.
They proceeded to carry out this in
tention and sat up till about two or
three o'clock a. M, but nothing ap-
peared. A then said he should not stay
up any longer, as he did not believe
the animal would come; B announced
his intention of waiting a half hour
longer by himself. There were large
windows opening down to the floor of
the veranda, and through n of these.
A retired, and, after entering his room,
had just closed the window and was
gazing out for an instant, when he saw
a dark mass land in the veranda right
on to his friend. He then heard sounds
of a scufle and a cry for help.
Selling his rifle. to which a sword
bayonet was attached and flinging up
the window, he rushed out in time to
see B walking down the steps that lead
up to the veranda, alongside of the
tiger, with his hand in the latter's
mouth. He was afraid to fire lest he
should hit his friend, so, running after
him, he, with admirable presence of
mind, went up to the tiger and, plung-
ing his bayonet into the animals body,
at the same instant fired. There was
a roar and a scuffle and B took advan-
tage of the moment to release his hand
and the tiger after tumbling died. BIS

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

Spring and Summer Styles of Silk and
Derby Hats, Shoes and Shirts.
''The new silk hat has a straighter
CROWN, with less bell to it." said a
prominent halter, ''and is smaller in
its general proportions than that of last
year. On both the American and Eng
fish made hats the rims are quite mar
row, though the dip and curve at the
side are about the same. The Derby
hat for business wear has a rather
small, round crown, with a narrow
brim, is closely curled at the sides, and
is about the same height as heretofore.
Lightweight Derbys are increasing in
demand for summer wear, and are
made without lining.
"The trade call them skeleton hats,
and they are selling very well. In
Derbys black is the reigning color,
though there is, as usual, a liberal
sprinkling of the lighter shades of
brownish drabs, etc. These hats will
be worn through the summer, and
there are some hatters who say that
following the English custom (and that
carries weight with many New York
men), the silk hat may be correctly
worn the year round, even in the hot
test weather."
Said a well-known shoe dealer: 'sThe
prevailing fashion seems to demand a
shoe neither too narrow nor too wide,
one of a gracefully rounded outline,
giving Il better line to the foot, and
giving much more satisfaction than
the wIder-tocd style. Patent leather
shoes, made to lace, will be generally
used for spring and summer wear
| Top CATERS made in light colored
| Kersey cloth will be still worn, though
to a moderate extent, during the
spring, and they will be succeeded in
summer, as they were last year, by top
CATERS made from light shade. in linen
and canvas"
''There are few changes in shirts"
"and collars as well. The high collar
is still the memorable mode. Those
with the lapels turned back arc rather

nounced style. The extreme high col
lar of the past two seasons seems to have
disappeared, or at least to have been
greatly modified. Link cuffs remain
the proper caper, and they may be
with square or rounded corners. Many
fancy shirts will be worn, from present
indications, and they will be in various
designs, such as stripes, checks and
pronounced plaids in black, blue, red,
pink and even combinations, with col.
lars and cuffs to match. In dress shirts
the styles are getting to be even more
expensive. The bosoms are cut wider,

A FAMOUS DETECTIVE.

JAMES JACKSON, the famous State detect

in attendance at the prison. His duties are
to examine carefully the face of every con-
vict as he enters, and to scrutinize every
visitor in order to prevent any discharged
convict seeing his pals. Occasionally he
has to mak long journeys in pursuit OF
runaway prisoners or to identify criminals
convicted in other States. He never makes
q mistake; if once he looks q man in the
eye he will now him under any disguise,

THE PAY OF
The Great Changes That Have Tai

The Great Changes That Have Taken
Place in American Literature.
The recent death of John G. Sake
brings to mind that some years ago he
received an annual salary of $1,000
from the New York Ledger for furnish
ing one short poem each week. This
shows what a long stride has been taken
during the last few years in the way of
better remuneration for American lit
erary work. One a gain an idea of
the hopes of an American author less
han three-quarters of a century ago,
by an anecdote which Fenimore Cooper
relates of "The Spy" one of his most
popular tales. So little was expected
from the publication of an original
novel by an American on a subject sug-
gested by events in his own country,
that the first volume of 1.-The Spy" was
actually printed several months before
the author felt a sufficient inducement
to write a line Of the second. GAS the
second volume was slowly printing"
adds Cooper, ''the publisher init
mated that the work might
grow to a length that would
consume the profits. To set his mind
at rest, the last chapter was actu-
ally written, printed and PACED sew
eral weeks before the chapters which
prccede it were even thought Of"
Readers of Longfellow's biography will
remember that a few years later than
this the poet, whose fame, it is true,
vas then just beginning, contributed
to a literary magazine for a year, at
the rate of one dollar a column for
prose and two for poetry, and as sew
eral of the poems filled only half a col
INN they were paid for accordingly.
A half-century later the Atautic Month
ly was eager for his short poems at
500 apiece, while the Harpers could
give him 81, 900 for a poem like "Kera-
mos" The great changes that have
taken place in our literature, owing to
the desire for works of our own coun-
trymen, are a sign of II progress as a
people, and, in spite of the lack of an
international copyright to protect our
authors against unpaid competition,
American writer's are in general as we'll
paid now as their literary brethren OF
other countries. Boston Globe.
